In March 2011, police in his native Texas issued a felony warrant for Talib – he allegedly pistol-whipped and shot at his sister’s boyfriend, Shannon Billings, and was wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was released on $25,000 bond and was indicted on the charge two months later. But earlier this year, the charges were dropped because of insufficient evidence and character concerns about Billings – at the time, Billings was in jail as a repeat sex offender.
